Excerpt

Senior executives must understand the pulse of their organisation. They must assess if too many individuals are attending too many meetings in which they don't really contribute. They should find automated metrics to capture the chatter within meetings and triangulate the findings with the stated objectives and format of the meetings.

AI technologies such as speech recognition, text to speech, and knowledge graphs are useful.
